[QUOTE="Mike Myler, post: 7756821, member: 6726030"] The Titans and Olympians are all gods. When a god pairs with a lesser creature (mortals usually but also nymphs and such right?) the thing that comes out is usually not a god. Demigod absolutely, but not a full on god. Because Circe has one mortal (or nigh-mortal) parent that's what makes sense to me for determining what kind of creature she is. If you can tell me what Circe is the goddess of (ie her domain) I'll figure on how to make her a full-on god instead of a(n ocean) nymph. In my readings I've never spotted a portfolio to associate with Circe so to me when they refer to the "goddess with a dread voice" etc. it's about her being very attractive and bewitching, not an allusion to full-on divinity. Druid ascribes a wider range of powers and abilities than I thought appropriate to ascribe without some existing justification (as in the build above where extraneous powers are drawn from her race) so I avoided that, but ranger might work (favored enemy human, obviously). I don't think it's clearly a combination, I think it just makes sense to drug all the people you're about to do |horrible permanent things| so it's less likely someone will interfere with your malevolent activities.
